XZ Utils Release Notes
======================
+5.2.3 (2016-12-30)
+
+ * xz:
+
+ - Always close a file before trying to delete it to avoid
+ problems on some operating system and file system combinations.
+
+ - Fixed copying of file timestamps on Windows.
+
+ - Added experimental (disabled by default) sandbox support using
+ Capsicum (FreeBSD >= 10). See --enable-sandbox in INSTALL.
+
+ * C99/C11 conformance fixes to liblzma. The issues affected at least
+ some builds using link-time optimizations.
+
+ * Fixed bugs in the rarely-used function lzma_index_dup().
+
+ * Use of external SHA-256 code is now disabled by default.
+ It can still be enabled by passing --enable-external-sha256
+ to configure. The reasons to disable it by default (see INSTALL
+ for more details):
+
+ - Some OS-specific SHA-256 implementations conflict with
+ OpenSSL and cause problems in programs that link against both
+ liblzma and libcrypto. At least FreeBSD 10 and MINIX 3.3.0
+ are affected.
+
+ - The internal SHA-256 is faster than the SHA-256 code in
+ some operating systems.
+
+ * Changed CPU core count detection to use sched_getaffinity() on
+ GNU/Linux and GNU/kFreeBSD.
+
+ * Fixes to the build-system and xz to make xz buildable even when
+ encoders, decoders, or threading have been disabled from libilzma
+ using configure options. These fixes added two new #defines to
+ config.h: HAVE_ENCODERS and HAVE_DECODERS.
+
+
5.2.2 (2015-09-29)
* Fixed bugs in QNX-specific code.
